I just made a post on Misc Girls thread. I got it the day it came out. I learned why my marriage to my Thai (nonBG) ex-wife failed and it is motivating me to dump my current LTGF.

Interesting tidbit from Stickman Weekly (9/1/2005) :
Question 1: Why do Thailand girls not seem to understand that lying (even if perhaps trying keep face and peace) is worse than telling the truth? Truth always has a way of coming out amongst friends and lovers, and it will always create anger and feelings of betrayal. In the West lying (and cheating) is a big offence, not easily forgiven, and it will always create a sour taste in a future relationship. Thais seem to think it is "better" to not to always tell the truth. Why is this? I would like to understand this Thai culture. Please explain.
Mr. Stick says: I just finished reading the book "Thailand Fever" which is a guide to Thai Westerner relationships. All I can say is read that book because this question is answered much better there than Mrs. Stick or I could ever answer it.

Welcome to the world of cultural differences between Thais and Westerners.
To a Thai, their image, or "face" is most important and they will lie to protect it. Think of Bill Clinton or Richard Nixon and you will come closer to understanding the philosophy.
You are not supposed to ask questions. Just accept what you are told and at least pretend to believe it.

Lets add the current President to that list as well.

Yeah Thais lie but so do I as do all westerners.
If I cheated on my girlfriend or wife I certainly wouldn't tell them and would deny it black and blue.
Likewise if my wife cheated on me I would expect that she lie and not let me find out.
The truth is overrated. It is far better to avoid it in many circumstances.
I think one of the biggest problems with Thai Farang relationships is the fact that the Thais usually put their family first before the husband. ALso the family often puts pressure on the women to extract money from the farang which can be a source of considerable agony.
